The March 27 Reporter article, "COP applies ‘Koinonia Project’ to church issues," finally provides information on the Koinonia group meetings conducted by the COP during their "retreat", February 18-21 (Tue-Fri), in Phoenix, AZ. Eliminating the boilerplate, and descriptions of activities conducted at their Friday morning business meeting, here is the pertinent text of the COP Koinonia group activities and their accomplishments:

"With all members of the COP participating in one of three randomly selected groups, each group spent significant time identifying and beginning to work through an issue faced by the Synod (varying points of view being present within the membership of the groups)."

That's it for two days of 35 district presidents and an assortment of synod officers, assistants, and other support people -- "significant time identifying and beginning to work through an issue..."

And that's after nearly a dozen draft plans, three conventions, and a synodical Koinonia project webpage.

Well, the Reporter notes there will only be four more ("until April 2015") of these COP Koinonia group discussion meetings. So it's unlikely the COP will solve all (or any of) the heterodox problems in the LCMS (or, evidently from the excerpt, in the COP) before April 2015.

Perhaps the Koinonia project should have been contracted out to the ACELC, for less money, less time, and more Koinonia in the Missouri Synod.
